Choose Your Wine

Any white wine will work in this recipe, though we do have some favorites. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Riesling would be the top picks. Another option that is easy to find and offers a great variety of labels to choose from is Pinot Gris. If you're in the mood for something a little more unusual, hunt down a bottle of Albarino, Gewurztraminer, or Viognier.
